Re: Fold KK pre-flop?
I should preface my comments by saying I haven't done any hard math on this scenario.
If you fold. there is a decent chance 2 players get knocked out. At least a couple of guys are going to get knocked out or lose basically all their chips. Two of the other players not involved in the hand have relatively short stacks.
So, if you fold you have a very decent chance of landing in the money. If you call, and win we can say for the sake of argument that you are guaranteed 1st place.
In the end, I would tend to go with the fold since there is probably AK and two pocket pairs at the very best. I would honestly be surprised that there wasn't an AA out there, in which case you know you are in horrible shape.
I would only call if I somehow thought I couldn't reasonably make the money otherwise.
